Make It Pop – A New Musical Comedy Series at Nickelodeon

My princesses and I had a fun time with Nickelodeon on a lovely Saturday not
long ago. We attended the Make It Pop
Dance Workshop atStreet Nation
dance studio, Bandar Sunway and learnt through the steps of becoming a pop sensation
with an original dance routine featured in the show by an experienced dance
instructor. It was fun and my girls enjoyed it a lot.

Once the dance workshop was over, we had
watched Make It Pop episode 1 together while having some refreshments.

bookworm – come together at school to form their own K-pop-inspired band inNickelodeon’snewest live-action, daily scripted

Research from Viacom International
Media Networks’ The Next Normal study found that listening to music and
watching television are two of the top activities children between 9 and 14 years
old enjoy when they are stressed.Make It Pop features original
songs and performances with a modern pop twist and an EDM beat from the show’s
emerging, real-life group, XO-IQ.

The show’s cast includes Lee, an
ethnic Korean who is a young rising superstar and YouTuber who debuted as a
singer in South Korea and Tronco, a Canadian of Filipino descent who appeared
in her first professional theatre gig at the age of eight and has gone on to
act in television shows and a movie. Tham, who was born in Singapore and is of
Malaysian, Chinese, Dutch and Ukrainian heritage, marks her first television
starring role with Make It Pop.
